According to its website, the Luskin Hotel UCLA prides itself on being Green Seal certified and achieving the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum Certification — both certifications verify that the Luskin Hotel meets high standards for eco-friendly operations. The hotel has integrated sustainability into the guest rooms, the restaurant and the building itself.
The Luskin Hotel’s guest rooms are also designed with the environment in mind. For example, the Luskin uses Earth-friendly premium toiletries and the hotel also donates and recycles all leftover toiletries through its partnership with Clean the World, ensuring that no product is wasted.
Plateia, the Luskin Hotel’s in-house restaurant, has set a standard for itself in sustainability; according to its website, a minimum of 20% of the restaurant’s ingredients are sustainable, meaning that they are grown within 500 miles of campus and are environmentally friendly, organic, fair-trade certified and humane (cage-free or free-range animal products). Plateia also serves wine on tap rather than by the bottle; each wine keg saves 26 glass bottles from the landfill.
The Luskin Hotel UCLA building was constructed with several green building elements, making it a resource-efficient, cost-effective and eco-friendly building. According to the Luskin’s website, the building is made of materials from sustainable sources: recycled materials make up 10% of the Luskin Hotel’s building materials and 50% of the wood used is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified from sustainably managed forests. The construction process also used advanced recycling techniques and prevented approximately 90% of construction waste from going to the landfill.
